Teddy Atlas is overrated

- -Aren't we all waiting for that damning email loonyTeddy said he was gonna release proving Manny was on PEDs? Teddy's dog ate his email!

The guy always think he is in a Rocky movie he wasn't giving any clear instructions just some motivational talk he probably rehearse for the TV camera Dude should just stick with commentary and podcast imoHe is not overrated by me. I never thought much of him or even liked the guy. His word is not worth a damn. When Pac lost the fight to Bradley Atlas said Pac won by a mile and was robbed. Then when he becomes Bradley's trainer he says Bradley won that first fight and deserved the win. He should be loyal to his boxer but he should not flat out lie for him like that. I hated listening to him call fights because he never stopped talking and ruined my enjoymnt of the fight. He always trashed the boxers in the ring no matter how good they were. As a trainer he is not very good either.

I rewatched the fight a couple times. Beterbiev is a beast but Gvozdyk was underprepared. When he traded artilery with Beterbiev he actually did well. His right hand was longer and sharper and Beterbiev left himself open. But Gvozdyk kept jabbing inaccurately and getting countered, and kept throwing prerehearsed combinations at random times. He didn't know what punch to throw at what time. And he didn't bend his legs enough to get under Beterbiev's neck control. In talent these are two equal boxers, but had a clear plan of what he needed to do to win in different situations in the fight, Gvozdyk did not. It's 20/20 hindsight but with the way Gvozdyk's chin held up so well, he should have taken the fight to Beterbiev and pushed him back all night. Would have made for a much better fight too. He fought apprehensively. Maybe Teddy built up the power too much in his mind. "You can't make a single mistake!" That turned out to be bull****. Had he pressed the issue and kept the right hand coming at full force all night, he would have won.The reason he didn't take the fight to Beterbiev is because he was getting hit with thudding punches. Once he felt how hard Beterbiev hit he fought a lot more cautious. As much as Gvozdyk was moving, Beterbiev was able to get to him fairly easy. The body shots also did alot of damage. Gvozdyk was done in the 5th but he he tried to push until he couldn't go any more. I don't see what Gvozdyk could have done differently.

I've never cared much for his psychological/motivational theatrics, but the technical instructions that Teddy Atlas was giving Gvozdyk seemed on point to me.

... man, tell me just who (since 2014) wanted "to be there", in front of Beterbiev?... Nobodyyy lol. But beterbievs previous opponents werent near the level of gvozdyk thats why i was so surprised to see him fold up like that. I'm afraid I have to rephrase this... as long as Kovalev offered him a fight in Russia... :)

Teddy was giving good advice. Gvozdyk simply did not want to be there, he mentally checked out. This^^^^^ I don't know what some people are talking about. Told him to keep moving to his right to stay away from Beterbiev's right hand, told him to stick the jab out there from further out cause he was letting Beterbiev get in too close to counter over his jab

I think Atlas is a master when it comes to memorable quotes and turns of phrase, and that extends to his ability as a motivator too. If a fighter just needs that little extra emotional push to win a close battle then I don't think there's anybody else he'd rather have in his corner. That said, I think that's where my appreciation for him ends. He talks so much nonsense as an analyst that I can't imagine taking him seriously as a boxing tactician or trainer.

I have no doubts that should Atlas somehow end up playing with the PBC then you would demonstrate a complete turn around. We know your game.

Ask Donny Lalonde.

teddy is cool. its just some of the things he says are cringey like those fireman speech.

Teddy is always funny... ... I don't know if someone else would have advised Gvozdyk better in this one... Betervbiev's game plan wasn't his usual; he came in a more conservative mood, he was patient and he even boxed at times... he chose to pick Gvozdyk apart step-by-step...

i dont dislike Atlas. hes rather knowledgeable. Bobby Czyz was the worst commentater ever. he wouldnt go a full minutes without saying the word Tyson, no matter what fight he was commentating on. totally on his nuts. Like Kellerman with Andre Ward

I think they didn't prepare all that well for that fight and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Gvozdyk gets himself a new trainer starting from his nex fight. With that being said, i think Teddy is still a very knowledgeable trainer who still cares about the mental part of the game. I hate trainers that are yes-men mitt-holders who never urge their fighters to do anything even if the fighter is losing. I remember watching Danny Jacobs fight Canelo and seeing how calm Jacobs and his trainer were despite being on the losing end and that really bothered me considering how much they were getting paid. Teddy will make sure he annoys you enough in the corner so that you go out there and do what he wants you to do, thing is with this fight, they weren't prepared for the skills of Beterbiev and expected him to fight 1 way and didn't have plan B.

Teddy overrated as a commentator and prolly underrated as a trainer tbh

I like how he walked out with his butt buddy podcast cohost Ken Rideout lol.

His face matches his voice and neither are pleasant. You shut your whore mouth #Teddy4Life
